At the Mykolaiv<\/strong> Regional Military Administration they plan to cut about 22<\/strong>% of staff due to a budget deficit; this was reported to Ukrinform<\/a> in an interview by the head of the RMA Vitaliy Kim.<\/p>\n

The official explained that despite a slightly larger amount of state funding compared with last year, pay increases in the public sector have caused a shortage of funds both at the oblast level and in most communities. Under these conditions the administration is preparing staff cuts and reductions in bonus payments.<\/p>\n

The regional leader stressed that such decisions are forced, and it will not be possible to avoid painful measures.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe state allocated us even slightly more funds than last year, but the pay increases for public sector employees have led to a budget deficit both at the oblast level and in almost all communities. Now we have an instruction to reduce the RMA staff by 22<\/strong>%. There are no extra people; we will be cutting to the bone and will reduce bonuses,\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to him, the current year will be extremely tense for local self-government: communities are directing significant resources to restoring infrastructure and supporting the Armed Forces, so there is effectively no money left for development budgets.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Kim noted that the situation across the country is uneven: there are regions where the economy is holding up better thanks to the relocation of businesses and increased business activity.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIn the western and central regions it is a bit easier with this, because businesses that demonstrate economic growth have relocated there,\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
